Our family had a copy of this book when I was a kid. I believe it was given to my older brother as a gift in the late 1940s. Anyway, I remember reading parts of it when I was young but never read the whole book. Finally got around to reading this reprint and I really enjoyed it. It is supposedly the true story of E.N. Wilson (photo left) who emigrated to Utah with his family in 1850 as a boy of 8. He made friends with some local Indians and decided to run off with them and ended up living among the Shoshone for several years as the adopted son of a Shoshone chief's mother. This was very reminiscent of "Little Big Man" which I read recently. After leaving the Shoshone, he returns to Utah and works for the Pony Express and as a stage driver. He also recounts episodes in dealing with cattle thieves and being stuck in a blizzard where he almost loses his life. Overall, an entertaining adventure!
